You’re right, Greg. And there was a question from the audience (I think it might have been from Michael Sauers) about the ability to text to email directly from mobile devices now. And John did mention that IM from cell phones is becoming more ubiquitous, so that definitey seems to be the way of the future. I can AIM from my phone now and it’s a pretty basic device!

For my environment, it would be silly to use a service that converts SMS to email. I’d want something that converts SMS to IM, where we might actually respond promptly. But I think what is more likely to happen is people will soon be able to IM via their phones, thus eliminating the conversion issue altogether. So for my money, I’m going to wait.
